...Publisher I have to deal with.
We've got an author who'd like to quote a poem in his manuscript, and provide an English translation.
So far, in attempts to contact them, I've emailed their international rights address (email doesn't exist), their legal department (no answer), their general inquiries (mailbox full), and a different international department (no answer). Luckily my boss is going to the Frankfurt Book Fair, and will be able to talk to a person from the publisher directly, but still, the hell people, answer a friggin' email.
